Two years ago I published a post entitled “things I wrote down
during OSBC”. It tuned out to be surprisingly popular, so I
decided to try the same formula again.

Just as was the case two years ago these are presented
chronologically. I wrote down a lot more than this, to be clear,
but these were the most quote-worthy things. Also, as in 2009,
some of them confirm things we already think about commercial
open source (or in some cases data management), others were
interesting ways of expressing old ideas:

“The next generation of computing is being led by users, rather
than vendors.”Jim Whitehurst

“The value of open source has moved from commoditization to
innovation.”
…

As usual, Michael Skok of North Bridge ventures will be
presenting the results of the annual Future of Open Source survey at this year's
OSBC conference, March 17-18 in San
Francisco. This is a great opportunity to weigh in and
provide your perspective on some important business questions.
Here are the 2009 Results as reported by Ostatic.
